PR E F A C E. 



Animated by a desire of promctingi 
as far as it was in my power, the 
study of the English language inlmy 
native country, I published some 
Years ago, an English Grammar for 
the use of my countrymen DifFe- 
rent other grarnrnars have since been 
offered to the Public with the same 
design, so that an easy path has been 



opened for such Danes as wished to 
acquire a knowledge of the English 
language. 

While Professor Tode and Capt, 
Abrahamson had written Danish Gram- 
^mars for Germans^ and Mn de Cham- 
beau and Mr. Hagerup for French- 
men, Englishmen who wished to ac- 
quire a knowledge of the language of 
this country^, looked in vain for similar 
grarnmatical institudbns. Having had 
the 'honor for a number of Years of 
instructing English Gentlemen, and 
those from the Danish West-India- 
Islands, I experienced the want of a 
grammar the more myself, from having 
been obliged to write for each person 
a sett of institutes, necessarily render- 



cd superficial and imperfect by the 
shortness of the time^ which I gene- 
rally have ac nay own disposal, and 
the number of copies which I had to 
write* ThiSj added to a general wish 
of those Gendemen to have a more 
complcat grammar, has been no small 
inducement to my present undertaking, 
which I am in Jiopes may in some 
measure facilitate the acquisition, and 
promote the extendon of a language, 
which in order to be more cultivated, 
requires only ,tQ be more known; 
which affords books in almost every 
department of science equal to those 
published in any other tongue, and a ' 
knowledge of which, must certainly 
be of great advantage to such foreigners 



tB settle in die DanisH WegtJndia Is- 
lands* Ity gives, me pleasure to learii 
that the English inhabitants of Sf^ 
Croix apply more than they were fof^ 
merly accustomed to do^ to the ^c- 
qiiisition of oor language, and I shall 
be much gratified if this little publica- 
tion should contribute in any degree 
to~their attainment of that object* 

A Grammar, being in my opi- 
nion the result of a language, is to 
be accommodated to the common use 
of that language, and not the latter 
to the former* With regard to the 
present publication I must beg leave 
to observe that though some difficul- 
ties have been obviated by '^Professor 
Baden's Danske raisonnerede Gramma- 



tik'' and 'Mr. Werfeis Vellediiing til 
kt Ixre det Danske Sprog" (both' pu^ 
biished in the Year 1798) still the 
rules intended for the direction of an 
English reader^ ought to be in some 
degree different from those destined 
for the use of a Dane* In order 
therefore to render my grammar as 
intelligible and usefulj as I possibly 
could, 1 have allowed myself several 
deviations and omissions from th© 
Danish Grammars, and on the con* 
trary have added several rules of great 
importance to an Englishman ^ but 
not taken notice of in the publications 
mentioned above, as being of littk 
consequence to a native of this coun- 
tryf This I think it my duty to raen- 



tion in justice to myself for having 
jdeviated from Authors of established 
reputation* 

To give rules in a language con- 
sidered relatively to another^ requires 
a thorough knowledge not only of 
both, but of their more or less affi- 
nity to each other 5 to write on a 
subject so abstract as that of a gram- 
mar in any other, than one's mother- 
tongue, requires such a consummate 
skill in the theoretical and famiha- 
lity with the practical part of thatj in 
which the book is written, that, 
though the English language has been 
the sole object of my studies for 3. 
series of years, yet I should not have 
ventured to lay this before the Public, 



had I not been strongly impelled hj 
tkc motives lately mentioned^ and a 
hope of a favorable reception of this 
first attempt 

In the collection intended fop 
exercises, my desire to make th« 
English translation of the Dialogues 
and Description of Copenhagen as lit^ 
teral as possible, has induced me Iq 
many passages to depart in some do* 
gree from the idiom of the English 
language, as I considered that thob© 
parts would be rendered almost useless 
to a beginner by a free translation, 
in which he could not possibly dis* 
cover the meaning of the Danish 
Words individually^ To the Anec* 
liotes I have subjoined A translation 



of the most difficult words; my rea- 
son tor this is sufficiently obvious. 

In the history and description, 
which I have given of Copenhagen, 
the reader must not expect to find a 
full description of the several regula- 
tions, institutions, and curiosities of 
the capital; this the limits, which I 
had assigned to myself would not 
allow of; my object has been merely 
to give a superficial view of the city, 
in as easy language as possible, in 
order to enable the reader to peruse 
with greater advantage the works of 
other Authors, from whom he will 
not only learn all the particulars that 
he desires, but from whose style he 



will receive much benefit in-the proi- 
secution of the Danish language; the 
works which I would recommend to 
those who wish for a comprehensive 
account of the country at large, and of 
the capital in particular^ , are Pontoppi* 
dans Danske Atlas, Origines Hau- 
niensis, ''Professor Thaarup's Statistik 
over Dannemark og Norge and Pro- 
fessor Nyerup's Beskrivelse af Ki6# 
benhavn.** From these publications 
he will receive the best information 
upon a subject so little understood and 
so inacurately and erroneously treated 
by ancient and modern foreign tra- 
vellers* 

As to the other pieces ^ I have 
had in view rather to select such pas- 



sages from Danish Authors as may 
ciiable the beginner to proceed from 
the less to the more difficult and be 
amused while he is instructed , than 
thereby to signify any pre-eminence 
of the Authors* quoted, of which, I arn 
far from presuming to be an adequate 
jugde. 

i* think it my duty to make apo- 
logies for the faults of the press^ I 
have spared nd endeavours to render 
the printing as correct as possible, but 
the printer's ignorance of the language 
renders this a i very difficult task, and 
faults unavoidable^

Of the A r t icj es. 

The articles in the Danfsh language de* 
note the gender and number of the noun with 
which they are used; they are divided into 

I tjie indefinite and 

:2 defini te Article* 

The indefinite^ Article is (Bn be- 
fore words tliat are masculine or feminine, and 
/Et before the neuter ; it corresponds to the 
English indefinite Article a and an* 
eti ^onge/ cu SDronning, mTiv'om^, it^lot, 
a King, a queen, an heir, a palace* 

The indefinite article in the Danish, as 
well as ill the English language, has no plural, 
93i(«nb ere iffe SB0i:n 
Men are not children. 

The definite article is t)en before 
the mascul. and the femin. and t)et before the 
neuter; the plural in both genders is &e; 
it corresponds to the English definite article 
the* 

bm SKan^ bm ^IJige, t)ct S&otb, ^e longer, 
the man , the girl , the tabled the Kings, 
be J?ufe, 
the houses. 



(9) 

This article however Is seldom used but 
when there is an adjective prefixed to the 
noun, as : * 

ben ftore iScnge bet fmuffe ©!i(> 

the great King. the fine ship« 

Where there is no Adjective, this article, 
by a turn peculiar to the Danism Language, is 
joined to the end of the noun itself, the 5) 
befng left out, and the plural formed in tte or 
ette for instance 
iKanben, Sorbet, ^ongerne, Jjufene, 
the man, the table, the Kings, the houses. 

When a word ends in f^ the definite ar- 
tide is formed only by the addition of an n 
to the masculine aiid the femininej and IL to 
the neuter; as; 

girl, the girl, lanthorn, the lan^horn, room, 
53i^te{fet^ 
the room. 

So that ben, and bet, and t>e / before 
nouns which have no adjective are properly 
the English pronouns tliat and those. 

No Article is prefixed to the names of Per* 
sons, Places, virtues, or vices, as: 



( lo ) ' 

Love, hatred, etc^ 

When nouns of dilFerent genders follow 
each other in the same period, each must be 
preceded by its appropriate Article as: 
ttt S^otlb, &en ?Jacme, bet CDJob 03 ben ^traft^ 
the success, warmth, boldness, and vigour, 
r)\)ormeb i)a\\ tatte 
with which he spoke. 

The article is left out before a n*uii 
which is preceded by another noun in the 
Genitive case, as : 
Sen J?eil6 »§o\)eb er fmufferc cub r)iittS 
the head of this horse is finer than that of the other. 
As these Articles correspond with the 
nouns, and are subject to variations according 
to the genders of the latter (flgrt and ^en being 
used before the masculine and the feminine , iZt 
and JDet before the neuter) the Gender of the 
noun must be considered before the article is 
used. To know this is perhaps the mast dif- 
ficult part of the Danish language. Things, 
wliLch naturally might be supposed neuter, 
are used in the masculine or feminine Gen- 
der, and vice versa, for Instance: 



( XI ) 

en iSto(, en ^og, en ^Sogn, et ^ruentimmer^ 
a chair J a book, a coach j a woman, 
tt ?OJanbfolf o* f* v* 
a man etc. 

Of the Nouns. 

The Danes admit but of two genders the 
common (fcellebe ^jm, including the masculine 
and the feminine) and the neuter (intet 
^i0n)* 

To the common gender belong; Names 
of persons, Animals, Trees and sea- 
son s. As 
en ^abtt a Father, 
en 9}Iobet: a Mouther. 
en teller a Sister. 
en ^onge a King. 
en Sronning a Queen, 
en ®me& a Smith.

The nnmes of Count rieSj CitieiSj Me*

or fZ, as: 

forger, ^crgerlFe, 91a&oe/ 

Citizen, Citizens wife, Neighbour, 

a female Neighbour.

the roof of the house. the mast of tiie ship* 

When more than one noun in the genitive 
case stand together, theS is only idded to the 
latter of them, as :

ZH (to) is; sometime!? used instead of af ^ asr

Of A d j e c t i ves 
their declensions and comparisons* 

It ought to be observed, with respect to 
the Adjectives in the Danish language, that 
they, like the Articles, ^ are subject to varia- 
tions froiii the diflirent numbers, genders and 
c*eclensions of the nouns with which they are 
used. 

In.fthe plural anfBIs added to the Adjective, 
except to those that end in fS., which remain 
unvaried through the genders and numbers* 

good man* good men* a sol)er man* 

<?br«e SDJenncjIet, 
sober men* 
In neuter a % is addei to the Adjective, 
except those that end in^, e^ «, and j^^ 
<and some few ending in ©♦ 
ctlgobt ^ovb, et fmuft S^nn^, tt 5att(f @fi6, 
a';good tfible. a fine house. a Danish ship* 
itjtbmt ?02eitttc|?e, tt $iab @e(jla6, 

a sober man. a merry company. 

When an Adjective is used with a noun 
which is preceded by the definite Article, an 
JC is added to it, as ; 



( M ) 

6ctt go&e ^anb, tet fmuffe S^mi, 
the good man* the fine house* 

The declension of an Adjective with a noun 
which has th6 indefinite Article : 

Mase^&fem*. Neuter Masc. femin* 6c Neutv 

Singular. Plur* 

tn gob ^'iianb, et gobt S^mxt^, gobe ^mb, $obe ^tfc/ 
a good man. a good house* good men* good houses* 

The declension of an Adjective with a 
noun which is preceded by the definite Article, 
Masc. & fern- Neuter. 

Sing* Sing*

the good man* the good house* 

Masc* femin* & Neuter* 
Plur* Plur* 

be gobe ?SRc?ub^ be gobe ^ufe, 

the good men* the good houses* 

if a pronoun be used instead of the definite Ar- 
ticle, the Adjective is declined in the same 
manner* 

Adjectives ending in ^1/ €n, and fZv^ 
and those which are used whith the def* art* 
form their plural in He, ue, and re, as: 



( 25 ) 

en gammrf fOJanb, bcit gamie ^Kattb/ gamle^cenb/^ 

an old n an« the old men* old men. 

tt Urgent 93ain/ bet n^gne 95arn, n03ne 230rrt» 
a naked child* the naked chikU naked children, 
et|iffcrt ©tcb, bet flKre @tcb^ be fiEfte ©tcfber/ 
a safe place* the safe place* the safe places. 

Adjectives with the definite Article are 
very often used instead of nouns, in which case 
they are declined in the following manner* 

Mas* & fern* Neuter* Mascul* fern* Neuter* 
SingI* Plui-* 

Nom* benStore^ bct®toi*e/ be @torc/ 

the great thegr-at the great (men, 
(man)* (thi g)* things)* 

€ren* bcn^torca, betStorefv be @tore6/ 

of the great of the great of the great (men, 
(man)* (thing)* things)* 

Some Adjectives are, irregular in plural, as: 

Masc* et fem* Neuter* Masc* fern* Neuter^ 

Sing* SingI* Plur* 

megen much*. meget much* mange many* 

ttogen some nogct some* nogle some. 

egen own* eget own* egne own* 

liben little* fiber little* fmaa little* 



■(2^ ) • ■ 

The nenter of the Adjective is very often 
made use of instead of the adverb, as: 

^It instead of alUuU f)emme(i9t instead of l)tmt 
already. meltgcn secretly. 

With respect to the comparison of the 
sdjectivesj the Danes have three degrees, like 
the English, viz : positive, comparative, and su- 
perlative. 

The comparative Is formed by adding 
iKt^ or ve, to the positive, or by pntthig 
the word meet* (more), or mittt>re (less) be- 
fore it. 

learned, more learned, sober. soberer, 

meer cebelmobig^ minbre gobgj^rcnbe, 

more generous. less charitable*. 

The superlative is formed by adding efi^ 
to the positive, or by putting the word meefl 
(most), or min&fJ: (least), before it, as: 
lopvbcp:/ (sbruejl/ meejt «be(mobig, 

mpstj learned. most sober, most generous. 

* The English word than, used after the compa- 
rativls, is the Danish cn^/ for Instance: 

she is happier than he. I have no more than he^ 



( ^r ) 



least charitable^ 
Adjectives ending in iH., or tt ^ lo^s 
the e^ In the comparatlFej and add only |T^ 
tQ die superlativ^j as: 

lazy, lazier. laziest^ 

open, more open, most open. 

Adjectives ending iu ig^ take but the ^^ 
in the superlative, as: 
tiaabtg^ «aabigjt, tJittlg^ \)itti9Jf, 
gracious, most gracious, witty. mostwirty« 

Adjectives of one syjlable, ending in ig^ 
are however excepted from this rule, as: 
tu3# rigeft, iiig, Ifaefl, 

rich* richest. like. most like. 

The following are irregular in their com*, 
parisons: 

positiv. compar. superlat. 

gob good. tebre better. Bebfi best. 

Oltb bad* tJcetre worse. ^cerjl worst; 

(lot? great. (!^rre greater, fi^rfl greatest

tive :

( 29 ) 

Several Adjectives are used only In the positive : 
leel, famme, [)t)cr, ganbjfe^ al, ittgen, 
whole, same. each. quire. all. none. 
The superlative degree is very frequently 
rendered more forcible by the addition af attec 
very, as: ' 

feet atlerin&erfte, bet aflen)&erfre/ 
the very Inmost, the very utmost (or outermost). 
The additions of jB^ and agtig, to the 
end of the Adjectives, correspond to that of 
ish In English, whereas the use of u before, 
corresponds to the English un and dis , as : 
jfietmlf, faltagtig^ nUjthU^,^ wl)c^lbiQ, 
roguish, saltish. unhappy. unlucky. 
£igf)cb/ UHgC)€b, 
parity. disparity* 

The adjectives: npttig useful, ffabeUj 
hurtful, farlig dangerous, raabcli^ advlseable, 
fi(?r dear, ftenbfl Inimical, {i;5ig obedient, nlxjs 
big disobedient, -govern the noun or pronoun 
in the Dative case, which is always standing 
before the adjective: 

bet cr I;am npttigt, ^an var l)m^e fietr, 

it Is useful to him* he was de^r to her«, 

^an var t>en&e h)big/ 
he was obedient to her*

observed, that the latter is .never used but 
when his, or her, or his is referred to a noun 
in the same period that governs a verb, or 
w^hen these pronouns denote a possesive quality 
of the noun referred to. for instance :

lover say jcg f)ar tmxmt, viHct, (Futtet/ maatf

several exce|>tions to the second, and still more ; 

to the third, and it will be difficult to an Eng- j

form a verb is conjugated, I have in the folio- j

The following general rules with regard 

to the Adverbs may be observed : Adverbs may 

be formed from the Adjectives by adding en, as: 

f)ce^li9/ r)«6li9«rt ugly, uglily. f)cttig, ^ertigcti 

excellent, excellently, the most general way 

however is by adding a C to the adjective, 



( ioo ) 

as: tig, tijt rich, richly, ftttuf, fmuft fine, 
finely, etc. except to those ending in f? which 
admit of no 1^, Some nouns are used as 
adverbs by adding a preposition to them, 
which however ought to be written in one 
word as : efter[)aanbett by degrees. mzbtttU 
rightly etc. , 



Of the conjunctions. 

The conjunctions in the Danish language 
are the following : 

Ofl and. 

ogfaa also, (too.) 

baabz both. 

enbog 

even, 
enbogfaa ■. 

entert either.

?5et is often used in the Danish language as a 
kind of affirmation ; and may be translated with 
the English to be sure, or I suppose, for instance:

to be sure I have not seen it; but still I believe Jr.

Of the prepositions. 

The proper use of the prepositions is 
iindoubtedly the most difficult part of gram* 
mars in general, and of the Danish in particular. 

It ought previously to be observed, that 
the prepositions in tjie Danish language may 
be divided into those that stand single, and 
those that pi^y \)Q compounded with a noui^^ 
©r a verb. 

* Zt used before a verb h to, at before a whok 
period is that: 

at ^aac to go. 

t);t ec at formobc at Hn tJiffomttK for at ^mc 6ef/

( 104 ) 

Those that stand single are.':

ubcit for without*

tatts^ along* 

formebeffl because (by means of.) 

^enimob towards* 

cmtrent about (about that number^) 

noer near* 

forubcn besides* 

Those that are used in connexion with a 
noun or verb may be divided, into those that 
are placed> either before, or after the verb, and 

* The Danes say : 
of St^99t for, for fear of. 



< 105 ) 

into those the signification of which greatly de- 
pcnds upon their position* Of the first kind 
are the following : 
*ab separately* jeg at>PFiffcr or j?il(er at), 

I separate* 
df of* jeg afftoeber or flceber af^ 

I undress* 
M of* jeg antagctr or taget an^

I yield* 
for6t over* jeg forbigaaec or gaaet forBI^ 

I pass over* 
fovt forth* jeg foctfarer or faver fort# 

I continue* 

* The Author has preferred putting the literal 
translation of the Adverbs, as far as this vns 
possible 5 to giving a free translation of them. 
The signification of the verb may be seen from 

the ^English translation*

Cm is frequently put before the word* 

be omringebe f}am, 

they surrounded him* 

fectt omtafte 93Janb, 

the before-mentioned man* 
Qm is also frequently used instead af 
omfufb dowm 

^an fajtcDe l)am cm, ^an fal&t om, 

he threw him down* he fell down* 
Sometimes it is used instead of over: 

om igicn, l)an j?re\) bet om tgiett, 

* over again* he wrote it over again* 

Omfring is properly round about: 

f)an gif omfring i ^ufct/ 

he went round about in the house* 

Ooet is applied to motion to a place: 

^an et gaaet ooer 95roen/

©ierbct I leaped over the hedge* 
93cicn jeg gif v^^ the road I went on^ 

3 / pcia # VC&/ o\3re, \xU, tnbe, are used 
indiscriminately in common conversation, and 
can only be learnt by practise, thus the Danes 
say:

he lives in gothers-street, in great kings-street, 
^an 6oer pact ^Sfter?/ paa 3?0rrev paa ^cfiergabe^

0£ the interjections. 

The interjections, being mere words of 
exclamation to express a passion, may be divided 
into: 

!♦ Tbose expressing- surprise, as: 
ife! [)em! Riflemen , O ! af; ! 
why! hem! indeed! geminil 
Those expressing dislike, as: 
6ort! mtl pafbig! fi;! o fi)! 
away! hence! begone! fy! ohfy! 

for shame! 

2» Those expressing an unpleasant sensation 
as: 

af ! \)ee! m o* f» v* bet gi^r mig onbt^ 
alas! woe! ah ! etc* I am sorry fdr it* 



D* 



Those expressing a wonder : 
ev bet mueligt/ (£i) e^, 

is it possible? why* 

mi, fee mig engattg ! faa! 
no,, only look! so! 



( 11^ ) 

4» 1" hose expressing a consent or pleasure : 

mi, mlan, top! bet tv ct Orb, 
well, very well, done ! that is a word*. 
fcct forn0icr mig, 
I am glad of it* 

5. Those expressing a question or demand: 

cl) f)0r! r)0t engang^ 6ie! f)olla! pift! 
Tiear! harkee. stop! hollow! pish I 
Tftaa'^ Imb ml 5i)^! jtilte, 
well? what now? hush! hush, 

O f the syntax. 

The verb agrees with it's noun or pronoun, 
i, e. with its Agent or subject, in number and 
person , as *. 

-^ In common conversation however this is not 
observed , the Danes say : 

x>i tetfet (instead of tcife) i SKotgetTr 

we travel to-morrow. 

©e fpifler bet ©fuefpil gobt/ 

they perform that play well. 

When ^i (they) which the Danes use 
instead of 3 (v^iO ^^ addressing each other, 
refers to one person, the verb ought never to be 



( "r ) 

she sings and the birds sing. 

When two or more nouns or pronouns 
are connected together in a sentence as joint 
agents, they must have a plural verb, tho' each 
of them be of the singular number, as* 

inirt ^abzv 03 SKober Urn cnbnu/ 
Tny father and mother live still. 
^un 09 C)an ere tcijie bovt, 
she and he are gone away. 

Sometimes a sentence or an infinitive mode 
is the subject of a verb, and then the verb 
must be put in the singular number and third 
person : 

at Se mitt ^m maazmvz Ipffefig, t)av eg 
that you my friend may be happy was ani 
er mit ^n^e, 
is my wish. i hs 

plural; when on the coi>trary ©e is applied to 
more persons, then the plural is used in writing: 

^aact Se paa Somoebie? 

do you go to the play? 

5>e qaat itU faa M, fom »i, 

they do not go as fast as we. 



( "8 ) 

When the Agent and Object of a verb are 
not distinguished by different cases, the Agent is 
always set before and the object after the 
verb, as : 

3(le^anbec o\)ci:\>an5t ©afiii^^ 
Alexander conquered Darius* 
<Samfoit eljPebe 2>a(t(a> 
Samson loved Dalila, 

The Agent is in many instances set after 
the verb ; for instance : 

I. By a turn peculiar to the Danish lan- 
guage, in a sentence, which is the object of a 
preceding sentence, or which begins with the 
words H, forbi, efter&i, eftcrfoiti/ crtbjfj0ttbt, 
eftecat/ naar, (igcfom, f^renb^ as:

2,. When a question is asked: 

is he at home? do you go out? 

3, In the imperative: 

eljf 2)U/ mt- S5u fi)ffe(ig, 

love thou. be thou happy, 

4. When the sentence begins with a noun 
or pronoun in the third or fourth case: 

ttiig fatted iitgctt ^ing^ fee ^am er bet vanfFctigf, 
I want nothing. to him it is difficult. 

5* When the sentence begins with an ad- 
verb or conjunction, determining the time, or 
manner in which the object is referred to the 
subject , as : 

Atbrig fFa( bet (Fee^ bcreftcr rcifte ^an, 
never shall that be. after this he went away. 

6, When the conjunction om is left out ; 

ffulbe jeg enbelig %mt hzt,

construction of the periods in the Danish lan- 
guage, being the same as in the English, are 
omitted as superfluous.

A short history and description o£ 
Copenhagen % 



1 he name, Copenliagen, (from Kiobmaend 
Merchants and havn haven) may be derivedi 
from It's situatioii, which is so convenient 
4br Comitierce* In the ancient history of 
Denmark, Gopenhag-en is mentioned as early as 
the year I043* In the year 1168 the fort 
Axeihuus was erected on that place where 
Christiansborg palace was afterwards built* 
In the twelfth century we already find 4 large 
parish churches in the town* In the year 
1443 Copenhagen was made the residence of 
the Danish Kings; it increased in pdpulation,

commerce, and size,: the citizens, being sen- 
sible of what they in this respect owed to the 
unfortunate Ring Christian the second, (who 
has been so much misrepresented in history,) 
remained faithful to him when every body 
else left him* In the month of June 1523 
Copenhagen was besieged by the King's enemy, 
Frederick Duke of Gottorp, who was moreover 
supported by a fleet from Lubeck, consisting of 
18 ::^hips of war. Not before famine had 
arisen to the utmost, and no delivery was to 
be expected, did the citizens of Copenhagen 
surrender in the month of December, \ after a 
close siege of 7 Months. 1 The city iinderwent 
the same fate in the year 1533, v/hen the 
citizens, after the death of Frederick, hoped to 
get their old King Christian the second on the 
throne again, and were forced to suffer a hard 
siege both by land and sea by Frederick's Son, 
Christian the 3rd. in the year 1535. The 
citizens boldly resisted all the attacks, but, 
reduced by the long siege to such a degree 
that not even horses, dogs or cats were to be 
got for nourishment, they at length surrendered 
the city the 29 July 1536, In the year 
161 8 the city of Christiaiishavea was founded

#11 the islanci of Amack, and joined to Cop^n- 
Jia^en, l>y King Christian the 4tb. The most 
important incident in the history of Copenha- 
gen happened in the year 1658, when the 
citizens proved that they, in patriotism, loyal. 
ty, valour, and ability to support oil the terrors 
of war in defence of their King and country, 
were a progeny, worthy of their ancestors^ who 
had rendered the country such important servi* 
ces. The Swedish King Charles Gustavus had 
conquered all the country, the hopes of every 
Dane? and the decision of the important que- 
stion, whether Denmark should become a pro- 
vince of Sweden, depended solely upon the 
Capital, which was still free, but threatened 
by an enemy skilful, bold, and far superior 
in number. Frederick was advised to quit the 
city and leave it to it's fate: No, replied he, I 
will coiiquer or die with my subjects* Char- 
les was himself at the head pf his troops, 
troops acQustocned to conquer, Frederick was 
at the h?ad of only lOQo r^JguIar troops, but 
the citizeiis and students made ample amen^s^ 
fqr the deficiency by their Courage, loyalty 
^nd patriotism. In the monrb ot August

his fleet blocked up the harbour; bombs and 
red-hot balls in abundance were thrown into the 
city but,, the fire was immediately extinguish- 
ed by the activity of the inhabitants, many 
sallies were made from the town, by which the 
enemy suffered considerable damage. In the 
Month of October the Dutch fleet, Admiral 
Opdam commander, arrived to the assistance 
of the town, after having engaged, defeated, 
and chased the enemy, he joined the Danish 
fleer, 'which, from the position ofj the harbour, 
(being blocked up by the Swedes,) had not 
been able to get out before; the town was 
now supplied with provisions of every kind, 
of which there had been so great a want, this, 
and the certain hope of now being able, the 
more effectually to withstand the enemy, en- 
couraged the citizens. At length Charles 
ventured a general assault in the night between 
the iith, and^i2th. of February 1659, when all 
the Canals and ditches about the ramparts were 
thickly frozen. The chief attack w^as aimed 
at the western rampart Vvhere the students and 
citizens had their post. The Swedish soldiers- 
had already forced their way up to the top 
of the ramparts, where they found their deatli

tefore this tvue bulwark of the King', the 
country, and city; the same resistance they 

met with every where; Charles v/as at length 
forced to give up his hope of taking the ciry. 
And thereby conquei'ing the country; the 

^peace was concluded in the month of May 
1660 at Fredensborg, The citizens and Sra" 
dents received the mpst distinguished ma^'ks of 
the favor and applause of their beloved King; 
they obtained many privileges and liberties 
of which they still are in possession. In the 
month of October 1660, the citizens and 
clergy of Copenhagen yielded up to King 
Frederick the third and his successor^ the 
sovereign power, in which th^y were soon 
followed by all the subjects of both countries: 
formerly the Kings of Denmark and Norway 
had been restrained by a proud, imperious 
nobility, who refused to pay the taxes, and. 
would not allow the Kings to grant to the 
other subjects such liberties ^nd advantages as 
they wished. By this revolution, unparalleled 
in history^ th? Danish Kings received an absolute 
power, which no Kings have bfld with so much 
justice as they, the people voluntarily and

cing their freedom, and granting to a limited 
governor the mo t unbounded authority. 

Under the reign of Frederick the fourth, 
in the year 1700, Copenhagen was again 
besieged by land, by a Swedish army under 
the command of the renowned Charles the 
1 2th, and by sea by the combined fleets of 
Holland, England, and Sweden. The attack 
was so unexpected that the King was not even 
in Copenhagen, but in Holstein, when the siege 
was laid, but the queen dowager Charlotte 
Amelia, who was very much esteemed and 
beloved, immediately assembled the citizens and 
Students, who like their ancestors hastened to 
defend the city: neither the num.erous Swedish 
army, nor the combined fleets were able to 
conquer the city, the peace concluded at 
Travendahl put an end to the hostilities and 
siege. In the Year 171 1 the plague broke 
out in Copenhagen, of which about 30,000 
persons died. In the Year 1728 another 
unfortunate accident happened, when a fire arose 
by which 1640 houses were burnt. The 26 
of February 1794, the city by another unclucky 
fire lost its greatest ornament, Christiansborg 
palace, which according to the judgment of

Year 1732 and finished it in 1740. The fiir^ 
which had^ probably burnt for one of more 
Days between the pisnks of the floors, suddenly 
broke out in the afternoon at 4 o'Clock; 
through the funnels of the msny chimneys 
and stoves it soon communicated to the several 
parts of this immense building, which ^ toge. 
ther with the many precious things^ contained 
in it, the excellent pictures, Library, the 
church of marble etc, became a pVey to the 
flames, and was demolished in fewer hours than 
"Years had been required to erect it. The 
flames spared nothing but two lower wings 
where the King's stables are; here is room for 
more than 200 horses, the roof rests on 76 
marble pillars^ at the end of the stables is a

bjr the hard gale of wind It was quickly com- 
municated to the opposite buildings and chur- 
ches; the fire was first stopt after the expira* 
tion of three days, 943 houses being burnt. 
The attentive care of Government, the una. 
nimity, mutual support, and industry of the 
citizenS) however, soon retrieved the loss, and 
the new pai't of the town, like the Phoenix in 
the fable arose in a more beautiful form from 
the ashes. The streets are now broad, and 
the contruetion of the houses handsomer and 
more convenient* 

In the Year 1801 an unfortunate misun- 
derstanding arose between the Danish and 
English courts, that occasioned a short, but 
bloody, engagement between the two nations, 
who had so long been friends, and whose mu- 
tual interest it is never to be enemies; the 
second of April 18O1 was the first — and last 
day of [the war, in the proper sense of the 
word; as the city itself suffered nothing by 
the attack on the ships, which formed part of 
the defence, and which for the most part were 
old ships without masts, the further mentio- 
ning of this affair is beyond the short limits

the rest for the citizens, most of these churches 
have handsome steeples, of which that of out* 
Lady*s church is 380 feet high 5, in these 
churches are also many excellent monumens of 
marble; most people that die are not howe- 
ver interred in the church yards by these 
churches, but in another called the Asi^istence- 
Kirkegaard out at the north gate, which, on 
account of the monuments of the most exqui* 
site workman-ship in marble j ought to be 
seen by the foreigner*

At the side of the pakce which was bm^nt) 
is fi large building covered with copper; iit 
the lower story of which, and in several 
large buildings CiOSe to it, is the Arsenal, 
here is the repository^ of all kinds of arms, 
gun-carriages, carts, tents, and necessary im- 
plements of war, on the place M^ithin, 27 
large guns are mounted, which are firtrd at 
grand festivities, besides those on the ramparts. 
On the second floor of this building is the 
Royal Library, one of the most complete and 
best regulated in Europe. The collection is 
increased by the addition of many private 
libraries which the King has bought, and is 
successively augmented, the King having granted 
an annual sum of 3000 Rixdollars to purchase 
books in all sciences and languages 5 at pre- 
sent it contains above 250,000 Vol. The col- 
lection of manuscripts is perhaps one of the 
most valuable in Europe. What still enhances 
the value and importance of this library is, 
it's being public. Every person may here 
i^eceive w^liac books he wishes for, and besi^ 
des there is a large warm room, where one 
may sit and read; the chief Librarian, Pro- 
fjessor Moldenhaver and the Sub-Librarians^

^tc. the. Dock lies at Chnstianshaven; in th0 
Year 1784 Commodore Gerner invented an 
improvement of li pumps, that are worked 
by horses, by means of which the Dock is 
cleared of the water in 18 hours, when for- 
itierly 500 Men were employed at this work 
for two days and a half. To the buildings 
of the navy further belong a great hospital 
for the navy at Christianshaven; a great 
number of houses called Nyeboder, for those 
sailors that daily work on the Holms, their 
number is about 6000, they get free houses 
here, provisions, cloathes and yearly wages; 
The Assistencehuus, which is a large building 
by the strand, the intention of this institutioa 
is to assist poor people who upon a pawn 
and trifling interest, may borrow money, the 
profit of this belongs to the hospital of the 
navy. In order to man the fleet, young people 
on the sea coasts of both countries are taken 
to serve for a certain number of years. With 
regard to convenience and good quality of the 
provisions on board, the Danish sailors of all 
nations are the best provided for, they are 
not treated as prisoners who are not suffered 
to go a-shore, on the contrary they are free

in the new market, and was burnt in the 
Year 1795 ; after the destruction of th^ house 
the children (about one hundred) were sent out 
for receiving their education in families for an 
annual pay from the institution* Of private 
institutions for education the most renowned 
are Mr. Schouboe's, Mr, Christianis, Bor- 
gerdyd and Efterslaegten , in the two former of 
which the childern are also received as board ers^ 
and taught all the sciences necessary for the 
university, besides which they learn French, 
English , German etc. 

Besides the King's library and that of the 
University, General Clasen's in Amelia Street

public security, the constables, of whom there 
are about thirty, and tlie watchmen, of whom 
there are one or more in a street, are subordinate

it is also the duty of the watchmen to light 
the lamps, of which there are about 2000 in 
Copenhagen, there are watchmen too in some 
of the steeples of the churches, who sound a 
large bell in case of fire; with regard to police 
Copenhagen is Geitainly one of the best regu-

robberies on the streets are seldom or never

benefit. No case (except those that are termed

Rere all sorts of culprits are confined either 
for life, or a certain number of years or months, 
and, according to the degrees of their offence, 
forced to do work more or less hard. In 
the Stokhuus only slaves are confined. 
To these prisons may also be added the soli- 
tary prisons in Pustervig for beggars; 
they are constructed after the American prisons; 
some of the persons confined are punished by 
being kept in dark prisons and not suffered to 
speak; they are fed on Rumford's soup and^ 
bread, and are forbidden the use of coffee, 
brandy aiKl tobacco ; the King has committed 
the care of the poor to a committee, who with

Good morning! it is early, it is six

Good evening, it is late, it is almost

cfay, then come Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs- 
day , Friday, and Saturday , then the week 
is out ; four weeks make a month , and 
twelve months a Year. 

The month of January and February are 
very cold, it snows and freezes 5 there are no 
leaves on the trees, the water is frozen, they 
skate upon the ice, and drive in Sledges. Put 
wood in the stove and dress your- self warm. 
To-night we will go to the play, and to 
morrow night to the hall, last night we were 
at the masquerade. Yesterday he came, and 
the day before yesterday she went; to town. 
To-morrow we, and the day after to-morrow 
they travel. 

In March and April the storms rage, some- 
timesi the trees are blown down, it rains 
and the sun shines , then you see the rain 
bow; the increasing power of the sun announ* 
ces the spring* 

May is the pleasantest of all the months, 
the trees bud and begin to blossom, the birds 
sing, and the flowers exhale their odours. 

In the fruitful months of June, July

It is very warm, sometimes the Heat is almost 
insupportable; the industrious bees procure^us 
honey; when the corn is ripe, it is cut with 
a scythe, the rye, the wheat, the oats and 
the barley are carried into the barn by the 
peasant. Thunder and Lightening are the 
attendants of these months. 

In September and October the hunters are 
busy, as well with chasing the game, as fowling; 
Apples, pears, and nuts are gathered from the 
trees, the grape grows on the vine, from this 
the wine is prest. The leaves fall off from the 
trees, the dry leaves rustle under the feet of 
the wanderer; violent storms announce fthe 
dismal gloomy November and December; the 
clouds are black, the Winds roar through th^ 
naked branches, we seek shelter in town at

Mr. A. Good morning Mr. B«, how 
have you been? 

Mr. B. I thank You, very well, at 
Your service; and You? have You been well 
since I had the pleasure of seeing You last? 

Mr. A. I am very much obliged to You, 
when I except a litrle cold, that confined me to 
my rooms for a couple of days I have been 
very v^ell. How do You find the climate 
agree with your health? Do You think it too 
cold or too warm, too dry or too damp? 

Mr, Br I took a violent cold a few days 
after my arrival, which I do not so much 
ascribe to th^ variableness of the weather, as to 
my own imprudence in dressing more thinly 
than I used , but that soon went off, and 
now I intend to take advantage of the short 
time, that I can remain here to karn the lan- 
guage, to know the people, and see every 
thing that is remarkable. In this I entirely 
rely upon Your good assistance, and I hope 
that You have friendship enough for me to 
hohor me with Your advice and attendance; 
I must previously 1)eg of You the translation 
of fhe following words which i shall want 
every moment*
